BA-J/ILL George Fauver W. 3967
Dear Madam:
The data which follow were obtained from the papers on file in pension claim, W. 3967, based upon service of George Fauver in the Revolutionary War.
George Fauver was born in the year 1752, in Gloucester County, New Jersey; the day of his birth and the names of his parents were not given.
While a resident of Pittsgrove, Salem County, New Jersey, he enlisted sometime in April 1776, and served two tours of two months each as private in Captain Dubois' company, Colonel Cornelius Newkirk's New Jersey Regiment; in the summer of 1777, he served another tour of two months under the same officers. From sometime in September 1777, he served six months in the wagon service under Captain Robert Patterson and Colonel Hugg, during which service his brother, Henry Fauver, was in charge of a wagon. George Fauver enlisted in the spring of 1778 and served one year as private in Captain Peck's company under Colonel Cornelius Newkirk.
The soldier moved from Pittsgrove, New Jersey, in 1798 to Lansing, Tompkins County, New York, thence to Newfield in that same county.
George Fauver was allowed pension on his application executed July 17, 1832, at which time he resided in Newfield, Tompkins County, New York. In December 1834, he resided in Eaton Township, Lorain County, Ohio. He stated then that he had moved there recently from New York State to live with his son, also, that he had children living in Ohio. His son, William Fauver, lived with his family in Eaton Township, Ohio; William's eldest child, a daughter, was aged then between sixteen and eighteen years, her name not designated.
George Fauver, the soldier, died March 31, 1836 in Eaton Township, Ohio.

George Fauver married March 24, 1780, in Pittagrove, New Jersey, Elizabeth, whose maiden name is not shown. They were married by a Presbyterian Minister. The date and place of her birth and the names of her parents were not given. She died February 17, 1846 in Eaton Township, Lorain County, Ohio, at the age of about eighty-three years.
George Fauver and his wife, Elizabeth, reared a large family of children. The following data regarding said children are recorded:
Robert Fauver born December 28, 1780. William F. " " May 23, 1791. George " " March 18, 1795. Samuel " " June 25, -- illegible. Elizabeth " " --- ---
In 1849, the names of the only surviving children of the soldier, George Fauver, were shown as, - George Fauver of Eaton Township, Ohio; Samuel Fauver of Steuben County, New York; William Fauver of Perry County, Illinois; and Betsey Belding of Lake County, Illinois.
The pension which was due the soldier's widow, Elizabeth Fauver, at the time of her death was paid to the surviving children named above.
In 1845, one Elizabeth Fauver, a resident of Eaton Township, Ohio, stated that she had been acquainted with George and Elizabeth Fauver for forty-one years last March(1845), but did not state her relationship to the family. At the same time, one Ephraim Belding, also a resident of Eaton Township, Ohio, stated that he had been acquainted with the soldier and his wife for thirty years, and that they had lived in the same house for the past eighteen years, but he did not state any relationship to the soldier or to Betsey Belding, soldier's daughter. It is not shown that this daughter, Betsey, was identical with the Elizabeth whose name is recorded as one of George Fauver's children, nor is the name of the husband of said Betsey designated. There are no further data regarding the soldier's family.
Very truly yours,
A. D. MILLER, Executive Assistant to the Administrator.

Colonel Joseph Hays & Major Edward Hays were in Command in the Wagon Service during this time. deponent is not entirely positive as to the Major, but is quite confident that Joseph Hays was Colonel.
That this deponent served in all during the war twenty four months including the Wagon Service of six months above mentioned for which he claims a pension.
That the reason why this deponent did not procure the evidence of a Clergyman is that he resides about seven miles distant from the residence of any Clergyman & knows of no Clergyman living sufficiently acquainted with him to make the required certificate.

George Fauver was a revolutionary Pensioner until his death which took place in March 1836. He was paid at different places at different times, receiving his first pension at Ithaca in Tompkins Co: in the State of New York, (it may have been paid at Harnsville or Newfield), and his last at Elyria Lorain Co. Ohio. His widow survived him and died in Feby 1846. or 47. never receiving anything from the Govt. The Representatives are anxious to know whether Geo: Fauver was not entitled to more than he received viz: $60. or $66 per year, whether Mrs. Fauver was not entitled to receive the same pension up to the time of her death, and if she was whether a claim, and by what evidence to be sustained, cannot now be set up by her representatives? The papers are on file. You will greatly oblige me by giving me an answer at your earliest convenience to the above inquiries.

The testimony in the case of Elizabeth Fawver is herewith returned that the credibility of the witnesses may be certified - It is however not sufficient to shew with the requisite precision that she was married before Jan'y 94 - Any family register made more than twenty years ago may prove the birth of a child before that date or respectable witnesses by comparison of their own with the ages of the children may testify to that fact -
By referring to her husband's papers it appears that he was allowed for 3 tours of two months each & one of 12 mo under N.J. militia officers viz Capt. Dubois & Beck - of Col. Newkirk's Regt between Apr. 76 & Spring 79 - The latter information respecting that service seems acquired inspires the belief that the claimant

confounded the training & patrol duty of the militia in Salem County, with that active service in field or garrison since his em- bodied company which alone affords a grounds for a pension — The militia after the fall of '76 served in towns of one months duration only & that in rota- -tation of 8 Clapers four of which might be called out at once — If the book at Trenton afford any evidence of the service described under the above officers, it will be again allowed but if not the case will be con- -sidered upon the proofs and refer to the N.

Hon J. L. Edward,
Dear Sir I wish to make an inquiry of you in relation to the granting of Pensions to Widows of Revolutionary soldiers & that is what you ever grant them unless record or personal proof is furnished of the Marriage. My object of inquiry is this we have in this County a meritorious case in the widowhood of George Fawver a revolutionary soldier & who drew a Pension under the law of the United States passed 7th June 1832 of $60 per annum. It has been about six years since the death of Mr. Fawver I believe the friends of his widow made an attempt soon after his decease to procure evidence of the Marriage in order to make application for a Pension but failed in doing so for there is no record proof to be found & so great has been the lapse of time that no person is living to tell us the day how them Married. The Marriage took place in 1780 1780 in Pittsgrove Township Salem Co. State of New Jersey & was solemnized by one Wm. West Minister of the Presbyterian order but the Minister who is at this time pastor over that Church tells us that the records of that Church for a period of about 40 years including the time of the marriage have been lost with the exception of a few transcribed documents which us cases of discipline. etc. We can furnish any amount evidence that they have during their long lives been reputed Husband & Wife & that no one has ever doubted the fact that they were so & that they have reared a numerous family of children & if such testimony will avail in her case & she could be allowed to show the provisions made by government it would be gratifying indeed Respectfully Yours H. A. Brooks

BA-J/ILL George Fauver W. 3967
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of George Fauver.
The data which follow are found in the papers on file in pension claim, W. 3967, based upon service in the Revolutionary of George Fauver, the only soldier with that name found on the records of this office.
George Fauver was born in the year 1752, in Gloucester County, New Jersey; the day of his birth and the names of his parents are not shown.
While a resident of Pittsgrove, Salem County, New Jersey, he enlisted sometime in April 1776, and served two tours of two months each as private in Captain Dubois' company, Colonel Cornelius Newkirk's New Jersey regiment; in the summer of 1777, he served another tour of two months under the same officers. From sometime in September 1777, he served six months in the wagon service under Captain Robert Patterson and Colonel Hugg, during which service his brother, Henry Fauver, was in charge of a wagon. He enlisted in the spring of 1778, and served one year as private in Captain Peck's company under Colonel Cornelius Newkirk.
The soldier moved from Pittsgrove, New Jersey, in 1798 to Lansing, Tompkins County, New York, thence to Newfield in that same county.
George Fauver was allowed pension on his application executed July 17, 1832, at which time he resided in Newfield, Tompkins County, New York. In December 1834, he was a resident of Eaton Township, Lorain County, Ohio. He stated then that he had moved there recently from New York State to live with his son, also, that he had children living

in Ohio. His son, William Fauver, lived with his family in Eaton Township, Ohio; his eldest child, a daughter, was then aged between sixteen and eighteen years, her name not designated.
George Fauver, the soldier, died March 31, 1838 in Eaton Township, Lorain County, Ohio.
The soldier married March 24, 1780, in Pittsgrove, New Jersey, Elizabeth, whose maiden name is not shown; they were married by the Presbyterian Minister. The date and place of her birth and the names of her parents were not stated. She died February 17, 1846 in Eaton Township, Lorain County, Ohio, aged then about eighty-three years.
George Fauver and his wife, Elizabeth, reared a large family of children. The following data regarding said children are of record:
Robert Fauver born December 28, 1780. William F. " " May 23, 1791. George " " March 18, 1795. Samuel " " June 25, --- illegible. Elizabeth " " -- --- "
In 1849, the names of the only surviving children of the soldier, George Fauver, were shown as - George Fauver of Eaton Township, Ohio; Samuel Fauver, of Steuben County, New York; William Fauver of Perry County, Illinois; and Betsey Belding of Lake County, Illinois.
The pension which was due the soldier's widow, Elizabeth Fauver, at the time of her death was paid to the surviving children named above.
In 1845, one Elizabeth Fauver, a resident of Eaton Township, Ohio, stated that she had been acquainted with George and Elizabeth Fauver for forty-one years last March (1845), but did not state her relationship to the family. At the same time, one Ephraim Belding, also a resident of Eaton Township, Ohio, stated that he had been acquainted with the soldier and his wife for thirty years, and that they had lived in the same house for the past eighteen years; he did not state any relationship to the soldier or to Betsey Belding, soldier's daughter. It is not shown that this daughter, Betsey, was identical with the Elizabeth whose name is recorded as one of George Fauver's children, nor is the name of the husband of said Betsey designated. There are no further data regarding the soldier's family.
